The "work stuff" I had yesterday was two of the most counterproductive hours of my life. It will have a significantly negative impact on me going forward.

Gaming:
A friend just got Stardew Valley so I feel like going back to the farm. I'll need to readjust back to that. Completely okay. Then, come winter, I can rearrange and get things the way I want them. The end result will be beautiful. Hopefully I can get those last few achievements! The possible ones.

In Xillia, I delved to deeper levels of Magnus Zero. I don't know if you can re-fight Mr. Golden Knight or not but I want to find out. So... no new playthrough yet. I had other priorities last night. And I'd rather not play one video game for 3+ hours straight unless I had to.

Weight loss:
I cut out of work early yesterday due to the toxic experience. I hate my work, but I love the culture and co-workers. The people are supportive, understanding, and accommodating.

I started the rebound yesterday with an earth-shattering 18,006 steps. Yes, nine miles. In about 12 hours. It was needed - the squeaky raw cheese curds, I had three slices of Toppers Pizza (they were really late and were constantly lying to the big boss's secretary - my first bad experience with them ever), which was self-control I'd never shown at a pizza party at work before (they noticed), the fish fry dinner (the Perch was oh so good) added up the calories... but I had very little else on top of all that. I rationed well. Didn't get a weight this morning, but I'm guessing I mitigated any damage.

That puts me at a ridiculous 49,100. Yes, I'm almost an entire fucking day ahead. WOAH. I'll continue to lose weight at <1,000 calories today, but considering I'm under stress... that's not easy. I'll still try my best to persevere. If I don't, oh wellz. It's just one day. I can get back into it. If I get 20,000 steps, I get to do whatever I want for dinner. That will also make it so I've gotten my 70,000 steps in just five days. I didn't think that was possible for me, but here I am!

Mental health wise... well, it's good to feel appreciated, understood, and loved. I've gotten all those feels. From friends, family, co-workers... the whole nine yards. It helps.

Song of the Day:
This will do. Inspirational, motivational stuff I need right now. Sappy, but necessarily so.

Josh Groban - You Are Loved (Don't Give Up)

I do a variety of stuff, okay? I wouldn't have made a lyric topic for this if it came up - I'd only have done that for songs I think you guys like.

Music recommendations are appreciated btw. I always like finding new stuff. Can never have enough.

Australian Survivor
The early goings of this season are so great. Everyone is playing hard. That's not saying they're playing WELL, mind you. Henry throwing the challenge is legitimately terrible strategy - giving Samatau momentum is just bad. Wait until a swap, use the Samatau numbers, and get Sam out then. If Henry tried, he and Sarah could have won that puzzle, even against Anneliese and Tess. Do that and suddenly you're up four people. If you then get up FIVE people, you can think about throwing it. The only circumstances to throw are 1) after a swap to protect an ally of yours and get rid of an enemy or 2) when your tribe has a MASSIVE numbers advantage close to the merge and you want to release the desire to vote each other out before it destroys you at the merge. Samantha played terribly, of course - she put her own name out there by asking so many people about it, developed a cuddlemance, and was too dictatorial. Oh, and King Luke is King Luke.
